COVER STORY aa In Their Fathers’ Footsteps What is it like following in the footsteps of musical legends, blurring the lines between parent and guru? We speak to two young musicians to find out. By Reshma O. Pathare ur country, for ages, Chakraborty’s daughter,” says up with your guru because not has practised the guru- the talented songstress, Kaushiki only does your practice not get shishya parampara, in Chakraborty. “Growing up with relegated to a few hours, but also, which children would be Baba has been not only the best you learn immensely just watching sent to learn life skills and possible education, but also the your teacher play, hearing his arts at the ashrams of best possible way of living I could ideologies and seeing how he wiseO sages. In contemporary times, have ever asked for. Music has carries himself as a performer.” while the format of this tradition been the way of life for me since Kaushiki’s sentiments find an may have altered, the quest for birth. In fact, I like to say that I echo in Ambi Subramaniam, the the perfect guru, who will hold our talented young violinist and the hand and put us on the right path, son of Dr. L. Subramaniam. “I had remains unabated. Lord Buddha a very liberated upbringing in the had said, “When the student is a sense that even though Appa was a ready, the guru appears.” But renowned artiste, he never bogged the process of “getting ready” me down with an expectation to sometimes takes years in itself. “Growing up carry his legacy ahead,” he says. On the other hand, there are a “Having said that, growing up in few souls who are fortunate to be in a household a household reverberating with born having a coveted guru as a sangeet, there was no way I could parent. They are fortunate to have reverberating with stay away from it. However, for the their guru ready to groom them longest time, I played the violin whenever they show an inkling of sangeet, there was only because I enjoyed playing it. talent, or even before that. But is It was only when I decided to take it indeed a boon or a bane to have no way I could stay it up formally that Appa [became] your guru as a parent? Does it, in my guru.

Another thing Zakir Hussain that I am trying to imbibe from him is the way he adapts his performance according to the audience’s mood. I remember, we were once playing in South Africa and the Brazilian guitarist before us had set the tempo so high that the audience was literally jumping up and down. Our performance that was to follow was a purely traditional, slow-paced one, but Appa adapted to the situation so beautifully that he kept the tempo going and yet stayed true to our performance. Complementing the set mood and creating contrast are two challenges that a performer is always faced with. The way Appa tackles these challenges every time is a huge learning in itself.” For Kaushiki, learning from Chakraborty has been a rigorous, unpredictable and liberating experience. “Rigorous purely for the strict training he brought to the table; unpredictable because he had a penchant for suddenly starting a new piece while performing together and would expect me to follow; and liberating because he has been a guru who knew exactly when to let go of my hand to allow me to chart my own path. His methods, [although] unique, have served immensely in making me the confident singer I am today. He has also been very supportive of all my offbeat decisions, be it singing for films or performing for MTV Coke Studio. However, he remains my biggest On the other side Ghosh and M.

INTRODUCTION Destiny of a nation is shaped in its classrooms and teacher is the architect who shapes the destiny. Enlightened, emancipated and empowered teachers lead communities and nations towards better and higher quality of life. Teachers are expected to create soul cohesion, national integration and learning society. They disseminate knowledge and generate new knowledge. It is therefore, essential for nation to have a sound and effective programme of teacher preparation. The teacher education programme needs to be upgraded and updated periodically. A perusal of the reports of various commissions and committees indicate the preference for longer duration of B.Sc.B.Ed.course. It was also endorsed by the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of India in its judgement on 15 June 1993. “The Teachers Training Institutes are meant to teach children of impressionable age and we cannot let loose on the innocent and unwary children the teachers who have not received proper and adequate training.

N.W WASHINGTON. D.C. 20008 April 4, 2011. Meera Shankar Ambassador of India The ‘maximum lNDlA’ festival hosted by the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in cooperation with the Indian Council of Cultural Relations and the Embassy from March 1-20, 2011 was a resounding success. As a co-sponsor of the festival, the Embassy was proud to be associated with ‘maximum lNDIA’. A festival of this magnitude to present India’s arts and culture in the U.S. was held after a gap of twenty five years. Our American friends were able to see and experience the rich diversity of art and culture from different parts of India under one roof — Indian dance, music, theatre, crafts, cuisine, literature and cinema. The milling crowds and sold out performances were a testimony to the tremendous interest and goodwill that Indian culture enjoys in the United States. ‘maximum INDlA’ also served as a unique opportunity for the people of India and the United States to rejoice in the steadily strengthening partnership between our two great democracies. I would like to congratulate Chairman David Rubenstein, President Michael Kaiser, Vice-President Alicia Adams and their entire team at the Kennedy Centre for their flawless execution of this large-scale project.

  • Béla Fleck, Zakir Hussain & Edgar Meyer
    Jim McGuire BÉLA FLECK, ZAKIR HUSSAIN & EDGAR MEYER With Rakesh Chaurasia Béla Fleck Banjo Zakir Hussain Tabla Edgar Meyer Double Bass Rakesh Chaurasia Bansuri PROGRAM There will be an intermission. Sunday, November 11 @ 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre 18/19 SEASON 45 PROGRAM NOTES There’s a bit of the sorcerer in Béla Fleck (banjo), Zakir Hussain (tabla), Edgar Meyer (double bass) and their special guest, Rakesh Chaurasia (bansuri – Indian flute). Most musicians hope at most for proficiency in their chosen form, but these gentlemen move from bluegrass to Western classical to Indian classical to jazz, transmuting genres into something uniquely their own as though they’d gotten hold of the alchemist’s tools that legendarily changed lead into gold. In any case, it’s music that transcends description; ineffable, indefinable and very beautiful. The story begins around 1980 when Meyer’s friends Sam Bush and John Cowan told him about a guy they thought he’d enjoy playing with, Béla Fleck. “We first played together in Aspen, just busking, but we were pretty close pretty early. The thing we had in common was that both of us were completely comfortable talking about music 24/7 – playing, instruments, technology, the machinations of human beings involved, and any part of music” says Meyer. They played even more. “As players,” he adds, “we were at a formative stage, so to some degree, we were shaped by each other. Béla’s inventive, he cares about the details, and he’s willing to put rhythm above other things, to prioritize it.” And rhythm led to the next step.

My frst and foremost thanks are to the greatest parents in the world, who have sacrifced more than they have had at every stage for me in order for me to live my dream, for being the strongest support system one could ever ask for. To the best friends every person dreams of having, who made no demands of me over the past year and allowed me to give my musical growth priority over them and without ever holding it against me. To every single one of my fellow Berklee classmates, for being fantastic comrades in arms, for being constant sources of inspiration throughout what has defnitely been the best year of my life so far, in the knowledge that we have made relationships that will last a lifetime. ! To my guru, Pt.Yogesh Samsi, for any idea that I present in this project emerges out of the seeds that he has sown, through his visionary thinking and guidance in every aspect of music and life and in his pursuit of sadhana, showing us that it is possible to be a great performer, great human being and an even better teacher, all in one. To my guru, the living legend, Padma Vibushan Umayalpuram K.Sivaraman for inspiring me with the beauty of my own heritage, tradition and music.
